Taper
Weight: 2.2g
Design: Taper is a Bit that features high Burst resistance and features a semi-flat with an indent on the bottom.
Strengths:
Great mixed stamina and attack bit for Beyblade X: The Taper Bit is similar to Flat where the design of this Bit is a semi-flat. So while it is still able to be used for attack getting that aggressive movement, you have greatly improved stamina compared to regular flat.
Uses the Xtreme Dash gimmick easily: The Bit works well with the Xtreme Dash performance tip, allowing for high speed and KO potential.
Able to pick up somewhat strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving somewhat high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.
Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with an 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Mixed attack potential: Taper can have the reverse issue of Flat, while Flat can kinda fail for stamina performance, Taper can kinda fail for attack performance. It requires a good shoot to make it get to a very similar performance to Flat when Blader is optimizing for the shoot. This is both a pro and a con, you get the benefit of more controlled stamina but less use of pure attack.
Vulnerability to self-KO: If the Bit is hard-launched and catches the stadium path, it can self-KO, which is a potential weakness. Control and technique are important when using this Bit.
Gameplan:
Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.
Overall
Taper resolves the issue for regular attack tips for lack of stamina, if you want a tip that has control, attack power, and stamina, then this is the way to go as it is a must have for any blader.
